-2.jpg "FUCHSIA triphylla ‘Thalia’")
Upright shrub to 80 x 50 cm with dark reddish green leaves. Slender pendulous scarlet flowers occur in summer and autumn.
There are about 100 fuchsia species and thousands of hybrids and cultivars grown for their beautiful pendulous flowers. Nearly all of the species are from South and Central America in areas of high rainfall. Those in cultivation commonly require a moist well drained soil in light shade or a sheltered sunny spot, and can be kept bushy by pinching out the tips. They are generally frost tender. Thalia is a vigorous upright shrub which may be grown in a lightly shaded part of the garden.
